While there are no permanent Bolt app discounts available, users can occasionally receive special offers and Bolt discount codes on upcoming rides. You may also be able to access a refer-a-friend discount through the app, so download it today to avoid missing out on possible savings.
Depending on your desired Bolt service, whether you are requesting a food delivery or a local ride, you may be eligible for exclusive Bolt promotions. Any Bolt discount codes can only be redeemed for the service in which they are offered; for example, you cannot redeem a food offer on a ride. You may enter your applicable code during the payment step of your transaction. Feel free to contact customer service if you have questions or need assistance.

Bolt doesn't run a standing teacher discount programme, though teachers are occasionally included in broader promotional offers with NHS staff and vital care workers. Make sure to check Bolt's current deals for potential savings on delivery.
Bolt's scooter rental service means there’s no traditional return policy – riders need to end rides by parking scooters in designated Permitted Parking Areas to avoid any extra charges. Failing to park correctly can lead to a pick-up fee of up to £100, charges for lost or stolen vehicles, and additional search plus ride fees.
